I love good stories. I love books, I love movies, I love good story songs, and I love to listen to people telling stories about their lives. That’s probably why I’m a sucker for Audible.

It helps that I have a long commute to and from work. It’s like when I was younger and we’d listen to books on tape or CD while we were traveling to pass the time. It’s basically the same, but with no chance of the tapes messing up or the CDs skipping.

Lately, I’ve been on a Charles Martin binge. I think the book I’m listening to at the moment is his 8th book. I started from the first with The Dead Don’t Dance and have been moving in chronological order through his catalog. Yep, I’m a big ol’ nerd.

He’s a great writer. If I had to describe his style to someone, I’d say that he’s similar to Nicholas Sparks but a better writer and more faith-based. It’s not so much “Christian” as it is God-saturated.

I have 8 more books to go after this one. I’m not sure what I’ll do with my life after, but maybe he’ll write another one in the mean time. Or maybe I’ll just binge another author. Oh, those first world problems.
